    Default ve 08 omega - need some advice

    Hey guys, this is my first post.
    i have an 08 ve omega on green ps. I want to get an xforce dual exhaust put onto it. Not sure wether to go for the 2.25 or 2.5 cat back. I love the deeper tones and am closer to going for the 2.5 but want to hear what others think.
    also does anyone know how to install the sv6(and above) honeycomb grille onto an omega as i have seen it done on a few omegas but i know some work would have to occur due to the bumpers being different.
    Any other mods you guys can suggest throw my way. iv already lowered it, got the ssv tail lights and have equus kaliburs wheels
    thanks guys

    So many threads about this it's beyond the joke now... Check the thread called 'SIDI or not' towards the end is a good suggestion as to what u should do...

    hey man ... i have an sv6 as wel i would recomend the 2.25 (its what i've got) as it sounds good. but if all you are interested in is the sound then can i recomend just changing the rear mufflers, im not sure about the 08 model but if it already has the twin piping then you can get a set of sports mufflers (the same that come with the cat back system) for 800 bucks (i think thats the stainless price) and this adds all the growl that you get with the cat back

    As for other mods you could try a underdrive pulley, window tint, extractors if you want to do the whole exhaust ... maybe a tune

    If you go for the 2.25 it will give u daul tips. Then if your not happy with it then like astroham said you could always get sports mufflers, as people think 2.5 would be shit on the v6 models

    No one is saying anything different... He is saying if ur choosing between 2.25 and 2.5, 2.25 is the best option, but I would stick with kuzman's advice he seems to do a lot of research into getting the most out of his 6

    yeah, mate - no one is saying get under your car with a hacksaw and some band aids. Exhaust shops will modify your exhaust for you.

    i dont know about anyone else but i think that, if you were going to do what Kuzman said, the dual tips look better than the quad tips in my opinion
